Mercury
Number of words: 447 - Number of pages: 2.... materials, making
Mercury a very dense planet with an iron core extending outwards 4/5 of the way

Mercury bares a very similar resemblance to our moon because it has a
lot of craters. The craters, which cover seventy-five percent of Mercury’s
surface, were formed by huge rocks that smashed into the planet’s surface. The
largest crater is called the Caloris Basin and it is 1400 km in diameter and is
flooded with molten lava. Mercury also has many cliffs that are usually over
